NPR listeners and readers deserve the truth, which can only be discovered when the full context of each alarmist claim is presented. Instead, shamefully, Hersher and Sommer betray the ideal of journalistic pursuit of the truth, and instead embrace advocacy, providing a simplified and scientifically unjustified trilogy of “tipping points,” tailored to motivate or justify policy actions at the COP30 conference. Equally shamefully, NPR’s editors and fact checkers let their reporters get away with this flagrant activism cloaked as objective reporting. That is not science communication, it’s climate doom theater.
